Toots Hibbert - Rise Up lyrics

Hey hey hey hey Hopes are lasting higher, higher, let nothing cave away The expectation of a nation's like music to the ear Oooooo we're singing a brand new song Marching to a brand new beat Down the inside, through the palace, filling every street [Chorus] It's time to rise up Stand and take your place (rise up) Shine like the sun (rise up rise up) Your journey has just begun Rise up (rise up) Stand like the brave (oh yeah) Rule your destiny Be the best that you can be [Shaggy] Well well well well now we start from the bottom and we reach the top of the toppa No matter where we go you know so nothin can stoppa We stand up and salute now to the yellowa the green and blacka I'll make you know so [?] [Ziggy Marley] The world is for your taking Giving up is your only crime I've written all the pages of history This is your moment this is your time, yeah Now we know, it's not an easy role 3'O clock, another road block (you gotta carry it alone) [Chorus] Rise up (get up!) Stand and take your place Shine like the sun (you are just like the sun, you are just like the sun!) Your journey has just begun Rise up Stand like the brave (like the brave!) Rule your destiny Be the best that you can be (you can be) Triumph! [Bridge] There's a winner, inside you Just waiting to answer the call (Answer the call, I said answer the call) You heard the voice (now make your choice) Now make the choice You've got to follow and start believing for you now [Chorus] Rise up Stand and take your place Shine like the sun Your journey has just begun Rise up Stand like the brave Rule your destiny Be the best that you can be [Diana King] Mercy, mercy, mercy Di boy dem in a di party party party Mercy mercy mercy Di boy dem in a di party party party [Ziggy Marley] Here comes the black and the green and the gold Control, control Giving every ting with that Heart, heart, heart [Buju Banton] [?] I still feel we been drained of success Therefore my bredrins we got to do our best Whether north, south, east or west [Chorus] Rise up Stand and take your place Shine like the sun Your journey has just begun Rise up Stand like the brave (higher and higher) Rule your destiny Be the best that you can be Rise up
